About Tanya
Tanya Henderson, MD, LCSW-C brings five years of clinical experience to her practice in Maryland, supporting people facing stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, grief, self-esteem challenges, and career-related struggles. She combines practical strategies with empathic listening to help clients identify goals and find manageable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with body image, communication difficulties, feelings of emptiness, family problems, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, loneliness, self-love, sexuality, social anxiety, and workplace issues. Her approach centers on meeting each person where they are and shaping conversations and treatment to fit individual needs.
Tanya uses evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused tools to clarify priorities and build skills. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion throughout the therapeutic process, and collaborates with clients to create plans that reflect their values and real-life constraints.
Taking the first step toward change can be difficult, and she aims to provide steady support for people working toward greater fulfillment and well-being.
Approach-driven care available online
Many clients benefit from straightforward, skills-based work, and Tanya commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; this approach helps with anxiety, stress, and mood-related concerns by focusing on practical strategies. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration so clients feel heard and supported while exploring their goals. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she uses to help people develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress, grief, and emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Tanya works together with each person to determine which methods fit their needs and preferences. This collaborative process means plans can shift as goals evolve, blending techniques from different approaches when that best serves progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing clients to access care from home or work and to select formats that suit their schedules and comfort. These remote options make it easier to maintain momentum between sessions and to apply new skills in daily life while staying connected with a licensed professional.
